Lightweight Directory Access Protocol : Attribute Syntax Definitions
RFC 2252, “Lightweight Directory Access Protocol : Attribute Syntax Definitions”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 1997 by M. Wahl, A. Coulbeck, T. Howes, S. Kille. It has since been updated by RFC 3377. It has been obsoleted by RFC 4510, RFC 4512, RFC 4517, RFC 4523 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a set of syntaxes for LDAPv3, and the rules by which attribute values of these syntaxes are represented as octet strings for transmission in the LDAP protocol. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
